Il think it my duty to tell how much good
Hoods Sarsaparia did my little girl. She was
from birth puny pale and sickly, and did not gain
strength as she grew older. Even when 8 years
of age she could not stand alone. She ate hardly
anything, and seemed to be weak consttutionally
but was doubtless kept back by impure blood
which caused her much discomfort and suffering
She had scald-head terribly, her head being COW
cred with one sore. One day l read in Hoods
Item OF a remarkable cure of child by Hoods
Sarsaparia, and decided to try this medicine
To say that was astonished at the effect the first
bottle had upon her, would be a mild way
of expressing my feelings. Her appetite began to
pick up, and soon we could hardly give her enough
TO eat She also gained strength, could stand
alone, and the sore on her head began to grow less
We soon healed this up with Hoods Olive Oint-
ment, and when she had taken three bottles of
Hoods Sarsaaprilla she couldrun about the house
as smart as any child. She has been bright and
healthy ever since. write this out of pure graft
